Glad to see him back in the winners circle, huge win for him.
Sent back to Henry Dominguez and dominates67 the Ruidoso Thoroughbred Derby.
What the heck are they doing to him!! He was a great horse and now he is going in a downward spiral.
GSP Racing Stable’s Well Spelled became a first time stakes winner when he rallied through the stretch at Monmouth Park to capture the Grade 3 $100,000 Jersey Shore Stakes by 1 ½ lengths.Read More

A resolute Trinniberg, dogged through the early going by Currency Swap, put away his rival in the Belmont Park stretch and went on to a 1 3/4-length victory in Saturday’s 28th running of the Grade 2, $400,000 Woody Stephens presented by VisitNassauCounty.com.Read More
Shivananda Parbhoo has leading contenders in each of the Grade 2, $400,000 sprint stakes that help comprise the Belmont undercard: Trinniberg in the seven-furlong Woody Stephens presented by VisitNassauCounty.com, and Giant Ryan in the six-furlong True North Handicap.Read More
Monday brought significant developments regarding the Preakness field. While trainer Bob Baffert confirmed Bodemeister for Saturday's middle jewel of the Triple Crown, he ruled out Liaison.

We are less than two weeks to Kentucky Derby 2012. All of the preps have been run and now we wait for final workouts and the post position draw. There have been a few recent changes to the field. Secret Circle came down with an injury and is out for four months. Seven furlong specialist Trinniberg i...Read More
Zayat Stables LLC’s Bodemeister galloped 1 ½ miles under exercise rider George Alvarez after the morning renovation break. The Arkansas Derby (Grade I) winner is scheduled to work Tuesday morning with trainer Bob Baffert expected to be on hand to supervise the move.Read More
Today's Derby contender works featured a six furlong breeze from G3 Sunland Derby hero Daddy Nose Best. Isn't He Clever and Optimizer, currently 21st and 22nd on the graded earnings list, also worked on Monday, along with Trinniberg, Mark Valeski, and Sabercat. Read More

Isn't He Clever is now under the care of Steve Asmussen. The Kentucky Derby remains a possibility. He is currently 21st on the graded earnings list with $191,333.    
I wonder how Henry Dominguez really feels? http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/69141/asmussen-gets-isnt-he-clever-derby-possible
Trinninberg does not belong in the 20 but Isn't He Clever certainly does. The baby of the infamous incomparable Smarty Jones needs another defection to get in. Maybe Done Talking will defect. May Trinninberg will decide not to sizzle the KD pace. Maybe....maybe.....

I feel so incredibly awful for his connections right now. First, they are in the derby because Reveron is out, and then Trinniberg's connections decide to run him and bump him back down to #21. Do you think there will be any more defections in the Derby that will allow him to start?
